Mispronouncing Krait

[CMDRBuxton]

When the krait was announced I thought I'd go and find out what a krait actually was. On wikipedia it redirects to Bungarus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bungarus) which sounds like a pretty nasty snake. At the top of the page it mentions the pronunciation '"krait" is pronounced /kraɪt/, rhyming with "kite"'.

This just sounded odd, so I went and had a look around to see if that really was the correct pronunciation. On https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/krait there's an audio sample of someone saying the word and it sounds like krait does rhyme with kite rather than rhyming with crate.

You can just go away with that sort of fun sucking attitude

I always thought it weird that it was called "CRATE" - I guess I'll annoy people in Discord by calling it KRITE lol

 

[Tuub t Tute]

Are you Krait sure about that? :/

 

[Faybs]

All right then. Krait on, commander!

I just started reading this as my insides reminded me of something else that rhymes with the krait...begins with the letters S and H ^

If i own the ship I'll call it whatever I choose.
Crate of ...................

It rhymes with kite and is the shape of a kite?
We’re through the looking glass here, people!

 

[Dean Demon]

As always call it whatever makes you feel happier but it's pretty trivial really.

All right then. Krait on, commander!

Oh for Krait's sake...

 

[verminstar]

Considering what I usually name my ships, Im looking forward to finding something else that rivals the Third Nipple ^

The way she says "krait" is exactly the way I say "crate", so I have no idea what you're talking about.

So we're mispronouncing? Qrait cool to know, but no-one likes people who skrait about their knowledge

 

[zimms]

All I know is that people who fly one are called Kraitins.

I don't think that's krait how you say krait tho.

 

[Cruel_R]
